Executive coaching for high-achieving women
Driven Not Depleted.
You're the one who has it handled — and privately, you're running on empty. I help you build the nervous-system capacity to hold your ambition without it costing you yourself.
Weekly emails on why ambitious women can't just think their way out of this — and what actually works instead.
The women I work with lead at companies like NVIDIA, Microsoft, Visa, Amazon, Mayo, Sotheby's, the U.S. Ski Team and more.
HOW I WORK
Self-awareness won't rewire you.
First — the basement
Regulate
You can't think your way out of a state your body is stuck in. We build real nervous-system regulation first: the capacity to come back to steady on purpose.
then — the third floor
Rewire
Once the foundation holds, we rewire the patterns that have been running you — new interpretations, new boundaries, new responses in the rooms that used to run the show.
That order is the whole difference. Awareness without infrastructure is just sophisticated suffering.
WHO THIS IS FOR
You already know.
This is for you if
- You're high-functioning on the outside and privately running on fumes
- You've read the books, you know what to do, and it still won't stick
- You're done running your ambition on willpower and adrenaline
THIS ISN'T IF
- You want a quick mindset hack or a pep talk
- You want accountability, not real change
- You'd rather push harder than build capacity
IN THEIR WORDS
What shifts.
“
As a medical professional, I'd spent years building my practice while trying to have a family. I hit nearly every goal — and instead of accomplished, I felt burnt out, depressed, and isolated. Nina's science-based, individualized approach helped me understand the why behind my thoughts, feelings, and actions. Six months later I feel balanced, empowered, and happier than I've ever been. I'm finally enjoying the life I worked so hard for.

I came to Nina thinking work was driving my stress. It wasn't just the job. Six months later, as a mom of four, a wife, a working professional — all the things — I've found joy and peace again with the chaos, not once it's gone. I think differently and I'm genuinely different.

I had everything I ever wanted, yet I was burnt out, exhausted, resentful. I'd done the podcasts, the books, the therapy — nothing truly landed. When I found Nina, I couldn't stop nodding. I finally felt like someone understood. She changed the way I see myself: I feel empowered to live the life I want without being so concerned with everyone else's approval.

“
I lost my true self climbing the corporate ladder and didn't even know I was in level-10 burnout. Now I'm working on my own terms — with gratitude, instead of waking up every day in people-pleasing mode, applying constant pressure on myself.
